My bmi is 22.2 add everyone is commenting how thin I am! I am 5'2 and 127lbs. I am not the lightest I've ever been as that was for my wedding. Not sure I'll get there again but I'll try if its a bfn this month. I cant imagine how thin id be for a 18/19bmi!
So who's next for testing?
I am 7dpo now. Had an 8 day lp last month so could be out soon! We go away on holiday for a week today so will try add update when I can.
I had a real cheat day yesterday...stopped counting fat at 80g...oh well back on it today x
Heavy FOR ME...I realize I'm still thin! I do have a very delicate frame and carry extra weight poorly, though. I also have almost no muscle at all so it's all fat, especially what I've just gained.Quote:

Yeah its right unfortunately. Been tracking cycles with temp for 14 months now.They go between that with the odd 10-13 every fee month. Had blood test and I've low prog and get referral in March if not pg before then. I just live in hope of a longer lp monthly x
Welcome to the group, essnce629, and good luck!
Dreamingofwin, I’m exactly where you are – 5’2”,127lbs. This is the thinnest I’ve been in years! I’ve had to buy all new clothes…which hasn’t been all that bad. ;) Unfortunately, it’s still not near my lowest conception weight, which is probably more like 115, but that was 15 years ago and I doubt I’ll ever see that size again. I’m just focusing on steadily losing weight.
Which I totally failed at this week. Just got back from vacation where I had the best of intentions to stick close to LE, but ended up totally cheating by the last day. Hoping to get back on track this weekend. Stocking up on rice!
Congrats greeneyes!! That is so awesome!! :awe: I would be so skeptical if I start spotting too...it's my usual bf AF and I've never had implantation bleeding. But you give me more hope for sure!!!
Sorry I've been MIA (limiting my time online these days) but think I'm in the 2ww now. I should have ovulated around the 19th...This is month 3 for us and I decided not to do opk. Instead we are DTD every 3-4 days. But I am tracking temps and am on cd23 (my avg is 30days) without any significant temp spike yet :nails: I've lost 2-3lbs (5'3" 110lbs now) but reeeeally hope that didn't mess up O!
Hoping for lots of bfps for everyone in the 2ww!!
dreaming, did you start taking Vitex again? The only good thing about a short LP is you don't have to wait very long to know if you're pregnant. Do you/will you test early, say at 9DPO if AF hasn't come? That's Monday for you, right? Fx for you.
greeneyes & bethwade, it's my understanding that if you usually spot before AF and it is due to low progesterone, then often you will still spot right after conceiving. I bet that often when people think they have IB, it's actually just spotting from low P. Though of course you could have both...
beth, I am in a similar situation. My cycles are usually 28 days but I have a short LP, often under 10 days. I'm on CD21 and still no temp spike. I'm on my 3rd day of EWCM with HSO cervix (the last two months I had only 24 hours or a bit less of EWCM right on O day). I have intense O pain for a few hours that always coincides perfectly with O, but this month Ive just had 10 days of ovary twinges (I usually only have a day or two) and still no true O pain!
Does anyone think starting on Vitex right when I usually O could be delaying my O? I took my firsr dose on Monday, then when I didn't O I stopped taking it on Tue & Wed, then when I still didn't O I decided to resume it again on Friday/yesterday.
Oh beth, when did you BD (what CD)?
I am worried now about sperm surviving, since I BDed late Wed night before I had any EWCM. If my temp doesn't spike tomorrow, I will definitely BD again then, but does anyone think I should BD tonight? Would that be every 4 days or only 3? Last month I missed O and only managed to BD 12 hours after when I believe I Oed, after my temp had already spiked, too.
Ugh, I'm so sorry u r going thru this too! :(( I'm doing a personalized plan bc I have Sjogrens (autoimmune) so I can't eat a ton of girl diet stuff, totally inflames me. AS said to bump up my fat this week to see if it kick starts it... I'm DTD every 3 days bc I need to get pg quickly and get back to my normal diet routine :-/Quote:

Had af cramps all day. Think ill be out v soon :(
Beth, I remember your intro post. :) Are you temping vaginally? Often the temp shift seems more subtle with vaginal temping, and while it's not enough of a temp rise yet, you do have a shift in temps after CD19. I know meds can throw off temps, and maybe you Oed then? It seems like a possibility to me. Are the hearts BD? And your CM was sticky, watery, watery, EWCM, sticky? Just making sure I'm interpreting properly.
I am on CD21, not CD20 as I mistyped earlier, ugh. I think I might finally be starting to have O pain (hope I didn't just jinx it). I guess I will not DTD again as I can affford to keep trying a bit longer. Thanks for your input!
dreaming, I am hoping the cramping is implantation. Have you had that before?
Oh no, dreamingofwin! I hope that's not the case. :(
Oh fingers crossed for you dreamingofwin, hopefully you're still in with a chance
Congrats green eyes! Exciting! And I don't think it's too early to post your sway :-)
Waiting for my pos opk now, on cd 13, expecting it anytime. Feeling a little nervous! Good luck everyone, hope there are lots of pink BFPs!!!
Wow!!! Congratulations green eyes that's amazing!!! Praying for pink for you!! I can't wait for you to let us know what you"ll have ;)) either way a healthy baby is the most important and will be loved either way :))) well ladies my Af has buggered off yes!! I am starting to get nervous now as my 1st attempt is this month!! but not sure not If too start it next month because mar, April, may is best onwards.... I don't want to keep putting it off as I am finding the diet really hard to stick too, and I have lost 9 lbs in baby weight since jan, I was small anyway before my baby son was born 4 mths ago, I think I should just get on with it, I am going to try Rephresh but I am sure I did read somewhere that it can cause a spike in ph the 1st time you use it?? Anybody know of this which is why I might do a practice run this month with it, and attempt next month any advice woukd be very welcomed thanks in advance :)))
Hey everyone!
So I finally got my crosshairs today and I'm now 3dpo! We BD once (after a 7 day abstain) at +OPK which was on CD13 and then I O'd the next day on CD14. My last application of Represh was 24 hours before BD which Atomic says is good. I had a big glob of EWCM the day of +OPK and took a 4 hour allergy pill 8 hours before our attempt. So I hope that was enough! I did not jump and dump and did have an O, but I think that is fine especially since this is my first month off BCP and I was using vitex and daily Zyrtec and need all the help I can get since we I won't be TTC again till June if I get a BFN.
I got a BFP at 10dpo with DS2 so looks like I'll be testing in 7 days! Good luck ladies!
Oh and today I was super tired and took a nap on the couch from 10am to 1pm! Looked back on my chart from when I got pregnant with DS2 and exhaustion started at 4dpo with him!
TY!! :awe: I'm not temping vaginally but have always temped same spot under my tongue, same time, etc. My cycles are always pretty regular but February has been exhausting for me! I don't keep track of other symptoms much bc my autoimmune issues mess with those anyway. I'm more dry everywhere anyway bc of it so CM is hard to measure. Yes, hearts are BD :) I also take a LOT of meds so that doesn't help either, lol.Quote:

Oh and I'm also 5'7. I was 135 at the beginning of January after gaining 7lbs of holiday weight. This is my highest non-pregnant weight. My normal weight since having DS2 is around 128lbs. Luckily after doing a Whole30 in January and then switching over to the LE diet, I was down to 127lbs on the day I ovulated. So I lost 8lbs which I feel good about.
When I got pregnant with DS1 11 years ago though I was 118lbs and then 120lbs when I got pregnant with DS2. I don't think I could ever get that low again though. And at that time I was just naturally super skinny and eating whatever I wanted. Now I have to stick to a super strict diet to stay at 128.
Hope you are still in with a chance dreamingtowin!
I am 5 6" and have lost about 10 pounds on le seem to be plateauing now.. Was about 134 with both boys when conceived and before starting this diet but usually about 125 average weight and I eat alot!!
Good in some ways as fitting everything in my wardrobe but really low energy...anyone else feel like this? Good luck to everyone testing xxx

I started spotting yesterday, so I took some tests and they've been negative. I think I may be moving into the TTC March group. :-(
Oh Arimethia :( how many DPO are you? Its so disheartening hey. I foolishly took a preg test this morning because a friend of mine said that her girl pregnancy showed up 6 days after conception and mine was negative so feeling really down in the dumps. I'm only 6 DPO so I probably shouldn't of tested and I'm surprised at how sad I feel about the result especially with all the sway things we did that I knew would really hinder pregnancy, I think deep down I had a glimmer of hope that it would still happen for us. I don't think I'll test for another week now because I can see that POAS could get very addictive but also seeing a BFN is pretty upsetting.. Don't know how much longer I can do LE, my BMI is 18 now and I'm just lacking energy and positivity to keep up with the kids and life :(
Hoping we see some more positive news from our Feb thread!
Well, I am 8 or 9 days dpo, and my breasts are feeling tender in the same way they always do this time of the month. My gut is that I am out. I think this is my last try too...
I'm 12 days from my +OPK so anywhere from 9 to 11DPO. My period is due Thursday.
I think I will temp next month just to get a pinpoint on ovulation. We'll stick with my sloppy Vegetarian LE, one attempt, LR for DH and breifs but maybe drop the frequent release? I'll have to consult with Atomic.
Flower girl, it prob is best to wait to test. I meant to wait until AF showed or not but I got impatient. I'm feelin ya on the positivity lack! Today I had to pep talk myself. I found it helpful to just picture the joy that another child would bring to our family, boy or girl and it did lift my spirits. What will their eyes look like? Their hair color? How will they laugh? This will happen for us ladies!
Arimethia-- Do you normally get spotting before AF? If not, then I'd take it as a good sign. Might be implantation spotting.
I've also read that in 10% of women the embyro doesn't even implant till AF is due so you wouldn't get a BFP before then.
I wouldn't give up hope just yet. Crossing my fingers for you!
I do normally spot for a few days before my period, I'm optimistic but not getting my hopes up. I am getting a second wind of motivation for next cycle, BFN this month means we get to try again next month and one more month to drink wine and cocktails, right? :wink:
Another silly early tester here! Bfn at 8dpo of course!! Don't know why I did it!
9dpo this morning and at least my temp is still high so af not on the way today. I've passed last months lp!!
I don't feel anything so highly doubt im pg!! I bet I'll test tomoz too. More disappointment x
Good luck all you early testers here's hoping it really was just too early. Love your attitude arimethia! I'm adopting that one wearing cute outfits and drinking !! Just got my sway plan so excited good timing as like five days out I think....from second attempt xxxx

Haha! Im positive too for next cycle. I have a few nights out coming up and my 33rd bday in a few weeks so just means I can celebrate with a glass in hand instead of a good old diet coke ;) x
Happy birthday dreaming!
And good luck to everyone testing, hope you get your BFPs. Unfortunately I cant join in the banter about how many dpo as I dont think I have ovulated but I dont know :( Kind of wish i had temped now but really didnt want to have DH moaning about me waking him up early, he already gets annoyed about my time in the gym.
Struggling to decide what to do now because I came off BCP at the beginning of Jan and stupidly thought that if we didnt catch the Jan or Feb egg, I might hold off in March/April as I dont want to christmas day/new years eve baby, its not nice to have your birthday then. But I also dont want to lose any more weight....oh something to think about whilst in the gym every morning I guess.
Must be more patient. And I do approach every weekend like its my last opportunity to drink so treat myself to champagne, nice cocktails etc :)
Just finally got a light bfp at 12 to 14 dpo :) hoping its not a chemical since with my other two pregnancys i tested positive at 8dpo!!!
But yay :) ill post my sway when im convinced its sticking :)
Good luck to everyone!!!

Hehe glad Im not alone Dreamingofwin - why do we do it to ourselves?! Lol! I'm
holding off for another 6 days before I test again.. That's if AF doesn't show up beforehand of course.
My temperatures are probably not totally accurate because I do get up super early in the mornings some days and not others but does anyone know how raised the temp would remain if you were preg?
Looking forward to hearing of more BFP's this week!
I haven't been on in awhile, so hi again!
I am 7 DPO today. I had a sharp pain near my left ovary the night of 5 DPO with some cramping. I had very low cramps/heavy uterus feeling all day today at 7 DPO and a little nausea. I am going to test at 10 DPO (so a few days) and see what happens! I never cramp at this point during my cycle but I did O a couple days earlier than normal so we shall see. I have no idea what symptoms I should have because my first was unplanned...
